Malia Obama has switched up her appearance!
The daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama showcased her new look when she stepped out in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Malia's waist-length hair was no longer worn in braids and she rocked wild tresses which blew in the wind.
Her locks appeared to have several hues of red and brown and Malia had pinned up sections to create a voluminous look.
She wore chunky, knee-high boots, a plaid skirt and beige trench coat for her outing.

Despite working in the movie industry, Malia keeps a low profile.
She marked a rare public appearance recently however, when she attended the screening of the film Sorry, Baby on March 28.

The last time she was at a star-studded event was in September 2024 when she attended a screening for her flick The Heart.
She was radiant on the red carpet at the Deauville American Film Festival wearing a Vivienne Westwood creation.

It was during her promotion for her movie that she revealed her new name.
Malia dropped Obama from the credits and now goes by Malia Ann instead.

"The challenge for us is letting us give them any help at all," he said of his daughters while speaking on The Pivot Podcast. "I mean they're very sensitive about this stuff. They're very stubborn about it."
"I was all like, ‘You do know they’ll know who you are?'" he explained. "And she's all like, 'You know what? I want them to watch it [for the] first time and not in any way have that association.' So I think our daughters [will] go out of their way to not try to leverage that."
Both Malia and Sasha, 23, live in Los Angeles, where the latter has returned to college for further education.
Michelle spoke about her daughters during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show when she said:
"They are amazing. Sasha is in school, Malia has a budding career in film. They are smart, they're funny, they're wise in their own ways and I love spending time with them."
